>can't find job in city of 3 million, apply to everything slightly relevant I see>hit up every recruiting company, get my resume redone so many times I thought about using git for it, mock interviews go so well they question why I even bothered>1 year unemployed as of last week

Should I just kill myself, /g/? I mean, I.T. jobs are so plentiful. There must be something wrong with me. I'm defective and will never be able to achieve things in life.

I'm not OP. To all those ragging on the OP, why not offer some suggestions instead of "lmao you wasted time and money on useless paper." You know its simply not true. Degrees and certs will get you past many HR filters, that is an enormous step up versus candidates that do not have those qualifications. OP you need to build on that. Get out there and start networking with like-minded individuals. You said you live in a city, there are plenty of opportunities to do this. Additionally you should spend some time volunteering your technical skill to some nonprofits for, oh like 10-15 hours a week. It's not much but its something, and those nonprofits are always looking for help and tech help usually costs a lot of money; something nonprofits tend to lack.

>>65173722>>65173749is this b8? you're yet another one of those people who doesn't understand what's actually required if you're going into something. don't force yourself to use something inferior just so you can avoid doing it the traditional way. traditions exist for a reason. photoshop is important, IDEs are important, real video editors are important (kdenlive is trash), real audio editors and DAWs are important, etc. it'll take a long time before web apps really stack up, and even then what's the point? is it because nobody knows how to write a UI these days? is it to avoid porting for different systems? i'm not even arguing about linux vs windows anymore, idgaf and i think people should just use what works for them. i'm just saying webapps are dumb gay

>>65168381>tfw just sent in my trusty S7 in exchange for 300 sammybucks going towards the S9 priceoh well, it is a great phone once you get a new battery in it. gonna get oreo eventually too, so you'll probably be good with one of those for a year or two.

>>65173140i like flip covers though, only reason why I don't have a first party one right now is because of the new phone tax meaning they cost like 50+ bucks.still need a cover of some sort because glassbacks are slippery as fuck

>>65173105no they're just a couple midranges that were on sale at one point, a flagship, and some xiaomi miui thing. I only use the 5" flagship daily and sometimes the amoled 5.5" midrange for watching videos or shitposting to save the lifespan of my real life. I wish I could sell the xiaomi but nobody in USA wants them.

Seeing as the Redmi Note 5 (Global, SD 636) will probably be my next phone, does anyone actually know if it's type C or micro A?Every source I find tells me something else, and I haven't seen anything official. The pictures on their site don't really show this angle.

Is the internet bad for you?

Say having access to the internet enable you to do certain things that you feel are detrimental to your mental health, does that mean the internet itself is bad for you? Should one try to spend less time on it? Or is the person going to have odd thoughts regardless of the internet?
